x^26 - ..... + abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I saw this somewhere recently, but I can't remember where. I think the answer is 0, but I have no idea why.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry CoxComment

Yes. y = 0 because (x-x) = 0 and should require no further explanation from here.Originally posted by agallag
